BD,

Just a suggestion about Nationals :

It is clear that at the moment there are 4 dominant teams (UTI, DB, CAF &
C22 - DSM are clearly fast closing the gap though) and that the 8 teams
below these are currently a step ahead of those ranked 13 and below (Point
Blank, Nightfever, Skunks etc - none of whom have consistently finished in
the Top 12 of any of the 3 tours - N.B. Nightfever DID finish 12th at
Towcester in the absence of C22 but that's by-the-by).

Is it possible to have 12 teams qualify for Division 1 (2x6, 3x4 or 4x3) at
Nationals and then the next 8 (2x4) qualify for Division 2 ?

It should be easily possible to seed the event so that all 4 of the "Top"
teams can reach the semi's, avoid a pool of death with 3 of the 4 in it and
still retain the integrity of the tournament.
